What’s the difference in storage sizes?

iPhone 5s comes in two storage sizes: 16GB and 32GB. The term ‘GB’ stands for gigabytes. The more gigabytes you have, the more content you can store on your iPhone, such as apps, games, photos, HD videos, music and films. For example, if you have a large music or photo library or lots of apps, it’s a good idea to consider an iPhone with a larger storage capacity. If you rarely download apps or you don’t take many photos or videos, an iPhone with a smaller capacity may be better for you. When deciding which size to choose, be sure to consider how your storage needs may change over time.

About the unlocked iPhone.

The unlocked iPhone includes all the features of iPhone but without a wireless contract commitment. You can activate and use iPhone on the supported GSM wireless network of your choice. The unlocked iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s will not work with CDMA-based carriers. An unlocked iPhone 5c or iPhone 5s may not support 4G LTE networks in all other countries; contact service providers for details.

If you don’t want a multi-year service contract, or if you prefer to use a local carrier when travelling abroad, the unlocked iPhone is the best choice. It does not come with a nano-SIM card, so you’ll need to get one from any supported GSM carrier worldwide. To start using it, simply insert an activated SIM card from a compatible network. Then turn on your iPhone and follow the onscreen instructions to set it up.

Do I need to commit to a long-term contract for my iPhone?

Will all iPhone features work with my network?

The majority of features will work with your network. Certain features such as Visual Voicemail require carrier support and may not function on your carrier’s network. Contact your carrier for more details or read the wireless carrier support and features article for more information.

Why does the price of the iPhone from the Apple Online Store differ from its price from a carrier?
